Buried in Bab al-Saghir.
However, some say that
Mu`awiah's was buried in the qibla wall of the Umawi mosque towards the
Amara castle,
in the place that people call the grave of Hud (though Prophet Hud (s)
is unanimously buried in
Yaman), in order to protext him from the Khawarij – just as `Ali b. Abi
Talib and `Am b. `As are buried in the walls of the mosques of
Kufa and Cairo respectively [quoting Ibn Katrhir] They hold that the
Mu`awiah that is buried outside Bab al-Saghir is his grandson Abu Layla
Mu`awiah b. Yazid b. Mu`awiah, virtuous
ascetic who ruled for 40 days. [ZaSh p. 48-49:f5]
